Further testing for lead has been carried out since mid-March. More than 300 soil and water samples have been taken at nominated private property and public areas throughout Tarago. All testing results from public areas will be released to the community. The results from testing on private property will only be publicly released on agreement from the owners.
Test results from private property will be communicated directly to the owners of the property, in writing and via telephone.
The public results will be released on the new webpage www.transport.nsw.gov.au/tarago which has been set up for the community. Additionally, a community information session will be held on Tuesday, April 7.
A Transport NSW spokesperson said it was important for them to engage with the community safely about this project.
"We want to take precautions to protect the health of you and your family at this time, so we will be limiting the need to gather together as a group," they said.
"As an alternative to a community meeting we would like people to book an individual appointment with the project team to allow us to provide you with updated information and answer your questions. We are offering telephone conversations or video conferences."
Experts will be brought together to answer questions on Tuesday, April 7 from 12pm to 7pm. Register for a half hour time slot at: www.ivvy.com.au/event/TF66FD/tarago-community-information-session.html Alternatively, phone the project team on 4907 7525 during office hours or email JHRcorres@transport.nsw.gov.au.
